Configuration Manager
This software manages and configures the relationships between the Blue Heat/Net Sync serial
ports and the COM port assignments of the Host Operating System.
Web Browser
The host operating system supplies a Web Browser to support the Web Configuration Manager
(WCM) used to change the configuration settings of Blue Heat/Net Sync units.
Embedded Operating System
The embedded operating system is uClinux.
